What a pressure cleaner service actually involves
Pressure cleaners cop a hammering. Pumps, hoses, fittings, engines, motors, all working under high pressure for hours at a time. Most jobs that come in are one of these:
Pump service & repair
The pump is the heart of the unit. We strip it, check for wear, replace what needs replacing, and pressure test before it leaves the bench.
Loss of pressure
If your cleaner is pulsing, surging, or just not building pressure like it used to, we'll find the cause and sort it.
Leaks & drips
Water leaking from the pump, the gun, the hose connections, or the lance. Usually a worn seal or fitting. Quick fix once we've got it on the bench.
Routine servicing
Pressure cleaners need regular maintenance to keep running properly. Most people skip it. We'll bring yours back up to spec.
Hose, lance & gun repair
The bits you handle take the most punishment. Leaking guns, damaged lances, split hoses. Genuine replacements where needed.
Engine & motor service
Petrol engine won't start? Electric motor cutting out? We service the engine end, not just the pump.
A note for Pickering Brook pressure cleaner owners
Pickering Brook is a mix of established residential, beachfront blocks, and trades running out of home workshops. Plenty of cleaners and detailers along the coast, plus the usual run of homeowners with their once-a-month patio blast.
Salt air is the recurring issue down here. The brass fittings on most pressure cleaners corrode from the outside in if you don't rinse the unit with fresh water after a coastal job. We see Pickering Brook pumps with seized swivel fittings and locked-up trigger guns more than anywhere else in the south.

If it's a pressure cleaner and it's broken, we can have a look. Petrol or electric, residential or commercial, doesn't matter where you bought it.
Why does my pressure cleaner smell like petrol
Petrol smell from a pressure cleaner is often a sign of problems. Different smells mean different things.
Strong petrol smell during operation:
Carburettor leak. Workshop diagnosis.
Fuel line damage. Workshop fix.
Choke stuck partially closed (rich mixture).
Petrol smell when stored:
Fuel cap not sealing properly.
Float bowl venting normal (some smell expected).
Fuel line damage.
Tank vented properly but emitting more than usual.
Fuel smell mixed with smoke during operation:
Rich mixture problem. Air filter dirty often the cause.
Possible carburettor flooding.
What to do:
Check fuel cap is properly sealed.
Check air filter for restriction.
Check choke position.
Check fuel lines for damage.
If smell continues, workshop diagnosis. Petrol leaks are fire hazards.
Don't ignore strong fuel smells. Storage of unit with damaged fuel system is dangerous, especially in enclosed spaces.

Common questions
Do you pick up from Pickering Brook?
Yep. Pickup and delivery available across Pickering Brook. We've been running services through this part of Perth for years.
How much does a pressure cleaner repair cost?
Depends on what's wrong and what brand you've got. Once we've stripped it on the bench, we ring you with a fixed price before doing any work. No hourly charging, no surprises.
My pressure cleaner won't build pressure. Worth fixing?
Almost always yes. Most "no pressure" jobs are unloader valves, worn pump seals, or blocked nozzles. None of those are expensive fixes on a decent unit. We'll have a look and tell you straight if it's not worth it.
How often should I service my pressure cleaner?
Annual oil change at minimum on the pump end. Tradies running them daily should service the pump every 6 months. Most homeowners never service theirs, which is why pumps fail at 5 years instead of 15.
Do you service electric pressure cleaners and commercial units?
Both. Karcher K-series and Bosch electrics, all the way up to Gerni and Stihl commercial petrol units. The pump end is similar across most of them, just different sizes and pressures.
How long does a repair take?
Usually back to you within a week. If parts have to come in (some of the European brands), we'll let you know.
